Chapter 644: The Guards vs. the Japanese Samurai
At this time, Nagasaki Castle was bombarded by naval guns, and the city was already in chaos, and most of the Japanese troops had suffered countless casualties, and almost the entire Nagasaki Castle had become an empty city.
As a result, after the boom, the gates of Nagasaki Castle were blown open, and the Sixth Army of the Guards Army and the Marines of the Beiyang Fleet began to enter Nagasaki Castle one after another.
This was the first time that the Han Chinese army had set foot on the mainland of the Wa Kingdom.
However, for the current Ming army, they did not feel very proud of this, because he did not know what a catastrophe these Japanese people in front of him who were running around in pants had caused to China in another time and space.
However, just after the Ming army entered Nagasaki Castle, Japanese reinforcements from the Wa Kingdom also appeared, which was a regular Japanese army of the Tokugawa shogunate, and the firearms and equipment were considered very advanced in the early seventeenth century, and it was also an army of 100,000 people.
The terrain of the Wa Kingdom is mountainous and plain, and Nagasaki Castle is a mountain near the sea.
At this time, the Japanese army suddenly appeared on the mountain, which was in a condescending situation, and once the Ming army entered Nagasaki City, it was equivalent to entering the ambush circle of the Japanese army.
However, fortunately, Nagasaki City is not small, and the Japanese army's firearms are still in the arquebus era, not to mention the artillery, which is worse than the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, so as long as the Ming army does not go up the mountain, it will not be ambushed by the Japanese army.
However, the only land communication route from Nagasaki to Edo was in the mountains, and if the Ming army wanted to conquer the Wakoku all the way to Edo, it had to cross the Nagasaki Mountains, enter the island of Honshu from Shimonoseki, the narrowest strait, and attack the core area of the Wakoku along the line of Hiroshima, Kyoto, and Yokohama.
Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty wants to destroy the Japanese state, the Japanese army on the mountain must be eliminated.
And the Japanese troops on the mountains also calculated this, as they fought on their own soil, they naturally knew that unless the Ming army only occupied Nagasaki, if they wanted to occupy the whole territory of Japan, they would have to cross the mountains and rivers and enter their ambush circle.
Li Dingguo looked at the Japanese troops lined up in three arrays on the hillside, holding arquebuses, and only gave one order: "After lifting the mortars up and disrupting the Japanese camp, the infantry will take advantage of the chaos to rush up, first bombard with earth-shaking thunder, and then shoot the remnants of the enemy with rifles, end the battle within an hour, and rush to Shimahara for dinner." ”
As a result, the mortar artillery of the Ming army's machine gun battalion came up with mortars and aimed 40 mortars at the area where the Japanese army was concentrated.
At this time, the Japanese army did not expect that the Ming army had begun to prepare to use the mortar principle of curved fire, throwing shells on the steep mountains, they were still standing on the high ground with a sense of security at this time, and they calmly raised the arquebus, preparing to shoot a three-stage continuous fire at the Ming army.
"Old man, the Ming army has gathered here, and they really seem to have the intention of going deep into the hinterland of my shogunate and occupying my Edo!"
At this time, a samurai came to the Tokugawa shogunate's elder Naka Abe Tadaaki and reported the general situation of Yamashita Ming's army.
Japan has been cut off from the Ming Dynasty and even the world for decades, and Abe Tadaaki does not have a telescope, let alone a military telescope, so he only analyzes the report of the samurai under his command at this time:
"The stupid Ming army must be immersed in the joy of occupying Nagasaki, thinking that our Japanese kingdom is really about to collapse at the touch of a button, so they still want to occupy more of our territory, and they are all ready, and as soon as the Ming army comes up, we will immediately launch an attack and take him by surprise!"
This Wakoku shogunate's old middle Abe Zhongqiu spoke with a confident tone, and seemed to have a sense of confidence in the current war.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of explosions sounded one after another in front of and behind him, and I saw Japanese soldiers wearing large armor and animal-shaped helmets and cherry blossoms all over the mountain blowing up, accompanied by the flying of earth.
"What's going on, how can the artillery fire of the Ming army still hit the mountains?"
Abe Zhongqiu said in astonishment, and he also regretted that his three-stage formation composed of 100,000 elite soldiers was actually disrupted like this, and just when some injured Japanese samurai were crying wolf in pain on the ground, and the other Japanese samurai had not yet come to their senses, the Ming infantry had already rushed up:
"Kill!"
As soon as Abe Zhongqiu saw that the Ming infantry rushed up with muskets, and because they were climbing from the bottom up, it seemed that they were easily hit by themselves, so he immediately pulled out his sword: "Assault give!" ”
As soon as Abe shouted at the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Japanese samurai, a symbol of loyalty and bravery, immediately drew his sword and rushed down the mountain, shouting "Assault give!" ”
Relatively speaking, Japanese samurai still like to use cold weapons to fight in close combat on the battlefield, and even strive for the sharpness of cold weapons, but it is also because Japan in this era is a conservative and closed country, and they have not yet realized the more far-reaching value of firearms.
The martial arts of the Japanese samurai are very high, and the wanderers of these Japanese samurai have hit the city of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty with dozens of people, which is enough to show that the quality of their own cold weapons is still very strong, and it is enough to be worthy of the word "brave", at least now the Ming army looks extremely brave when it kills, one by one baring teeth and grinning, the messy hair looks primitive and rough, and the wide armor adds a touch of cunning, but the body is short and thick, and it looks like an ugly ghost.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty seemed to follow the rules a lot, whether it was an officer or a soldier, there was no obvious change in expression on their faces, as if they were just a part of a machine, mechanically performing their tasks according to the instructions, and when they saw the Japanese samurai rushing violently, they neither turned around and ran away in fear, nor did they rush towards the Japanese samurai in the same frenzy, only tightly squeezed the earth-shattering thunder in their hands.
Tens of thousands of Japanese samurai approached closer and closer, their hands clenched in cold light and cold swords, their eyes were round, like a group of robbers descending from the mountain, and the fierceness was unmistakable.
But the Ming army first threw out the earth-shaking thunder, and the sky-shaking thunder that was thrown spun in the air for a while, and then accurately landed in the camp of the Japanese samurai who were densely packed with mountain beasts, and in a moment there was a rumbling sound, and the whole earth trembled, and the Japanese samurai began to be blown up as if dancing.
The entire area in the middle of the hillside was filled with thick smoke, the flames exploded, and the people were blown to pieces like dirt, and only a moment later, tens of thousands of Japanese samurai were killed and wounded, and the Guards infantry took advantage of this to rush up: "Kill! ”
However, the Guards infantry sprint is different, divided into different tasks such as cover, sniping and melee combat, but the whole is advancing, running over like a chariot, as long as the Japanese samurai encountered by the Sixth Army of the Guards survive, it is difficult to avoid the fate of being wiped out by such a "chariot".
"Withdraw!" Abe Nakatsuya didn't think about it and immediately fled with the remnants of the Japanese army, but at this time, Daming's mortars were powerful again.
